Should be a decent signing if true. Sure he's played most of his career League one & championship.
Would make for a solid looking defence, at least on paper.

Now this would be some signing. He’s a player way too good for this level, he was playing regularly in the Championship last season. A very good and well respected pro as well. Plus it’s the position we could do with one of the best players in the League more than any other.

If Hignett pulls this off then my expectations are officially on the rise.

I've took the 33/1 on being champions and 16/1 for promotion, on the hope we do sign him and the bookies cut the odds lol

Could be a good signing if it happens.

Could be this season’s Andrew Davies, Nolberto Solano or Steve Howard.

Could he bollocks he’s 32, fit as a lop and consummate pro. He’s been PFA rep at most of his recent clubs.

He was playing, regularly in the Championship last season. We are in the National League.

Hes played 5 seasons and well over 100 games in the Premier League and the majority of his other games as a senior pro in Champuonship. Be an unbelievable signing

Can you PM me the next Euromillions numbers while you’re using your crystal ball please.

Assuming you’re not just guessing about the future like.

Ta.

P.S. What was your expectation of Davies when you first heard he was signing? Excellent signing? Too good for this league? One of the best players in the division?

Davies was an excellent signing it didn’t work out for reasons, some beyond football. I think the club and dressing room is in a better place now though.

Your Davies comparison is fair, Howard/Solano not so much.

To be fair I added Solano and Howard for exaggerated effect about expectation and supposed star name signings.

Ok, Solano for star name, Howard to query whether Taylor might be too soon.

Davies left because of the crap chips.
There was no other reason.

Can't see him dropping down to this level, wouldn't surprise me if he ends up at Sunderland.

You deserve a statue in the Burn Valley pond where Peter Pan used to be. They'd have to dig a new pond first but that's the least they could do.

How about a statue in Ward Jackson park?
It could be on top of the plinth where the soldier was before it was nicked thus saving a few bob.

It would be wrong to palm him off with a used soldier plinth. To show proper respect you need to dig a pond and put a statue on the island. I suppose a really huge statue on the island in Ward Jackson Park pond would suffice. Not sure about the by-laws as far as a huge erection of that nature is concerned though.

being 32 could be the decider though. might not have been offered a contract anyway if bolton had stayed up. could be an excellent signing if it actually happens.

He spoken on Radio 5 a few times towards the back end of last season about the strike the players had over unpaid wages. I didn't actually read anymore into that, can you imagine how my leagues the FA would demote Pools if we failed to play a game, anyway I digress. He spoke very well, mentioned the non playing staff were affected more than the players and that they were essentially striking for them not themselves, seemed a generally solid bloke.

I'd be surprised if we got him, but Craig Hignett does seem to be very persuasive. Remember manager after manager saying you couldn't get players from outside the North East to come to little Hartlepool, that's not a thing anymore!

To some managers its an easy excuse for not attracting players sadly. For those like Hignett who are willing to travel to players homes to make them feel wanted etc then its no issue. Same with Moore, didnt he travel to Plymouth for that striker? (Morgan was it?)

Taylors had his head switched on from a young age, he was a sensible lad at school, and throughtout his career he's had other businesses on the go.

He's probably in a position where his next move is not strictly financial.

Pools have offered him something. Hopefully hignett has persuaded him with his charm.

FACT. IDST. NUFF SAID. RANT OVER.

I've always thought that was a weird thing to say, its not like the Mackems, Boro and Geordies struggle to get players to this part of the country as long as the pay is competitive.

Its not like your average Pools player lives in a flat above a shop at Fens shops nowadays.

If the Gateshead saga is any indicator, Hignett's biggest problem has been persuading Geordies to move south.

if a london based player wanted to move away from his friends and relations, has his own house to sell i,d imagine his lifestyle would improve out of this world playing for pools and living locally. knew a previous est london based physio who moved to scunthorpe and could not believe what he was living in there after selling his terraced property. detatched house out in the sticks with literally room for a pony which his kid had.

Taylor has been along to watch 2 of Pools' 3 friendlies and Ross Turnbull is a mate of his, according to the man Scurr in today's Fail.

Higgy saying he'd love to have him but hasn't spoken to him. Sounds as if we can't afford him - yet. Flog another 500 season tickets and who knows?

Thing is hasnt Hignett already went over his budget?

And he also said we have problems with clubs loaning us players as we often dont give them the amount of games that their clubs expect so that he was going to use loans where he was certain they would be get plenty of minutes etc.

He had a dodgy half but the formation wasnt suited to helping the full backs out, am sure he will do better at Halifax, probably helped by not having abuse shouted at him either.

In the first half Romoney wanted too much time to look up when he had the ball and got caught in possession half a dozen times. The problem was he didn't run back with any conviction when he'd had his pocket picked, and Pools fans are very hard on lack of effort. I agree with Nick Laughlin that when he got booked he looked like he didn't want to be on the pitch any more. Fair play to Hignett for not subbing him at 45 mins and saying the right things to him, because he was much better second half.

The problem is lack of experience allied to the fact that both him and Kitching look to be attacking wing backs first and defenders second. As long as there's an experienced alternative on our doorstep I'll be disappointed if there isn't at least an attempt to see what can be done.

Agree with much of the above.

If we have good attacking wide players like Toure, James, Molyneux (when fit) then why do we need to focus on attacking wing backs that cannot defend?

Surely two solid wide "defenders" would serve us better at the minute?

By the way I believe Richardson could be one of those and give some support further forward (when fit).

If there is any chance of bringing Taylor to the club Higgy should go down on bended knees to Raj to be permitted to do so and dispatch the kid back to Huddersfield sooner than you can say Rob McKinnon - he is a disaster waiting to happen judging by what I saw on Saturday.

Don’t get me wrong Im all for giving youth a chance but LB is a key position and any side with serious play-off ambitions cannot afford the luxury of playing a kid learning his trade week in week out in a tough men’s league that is the NL. I’m not sure wtf Hignett was thinking of tbh but it sounds like yet another ‘make do and mend’ decision. Why not bide his time and look for a loan deal for an experienced pro? Who actually gains from this - certainly not Pools as the kid will be repeatedly targeted as a weak link.

If there is any chance of bringing Taylor to the club Higgy should go down on bended knees to Raj to be permitted to do so and dispatch the kid back to Huddersfield sooner than you can say Rob McKinnon - he is a disaster waiting to happen judging by what I saw on Saturday.

Don’t get me wrong Im all for giving youth a chance but LB is a key position and any side with serious play-off ambitions cannot afford the luxury of playing a kid learning his trade week in week out in a tough men’s league that is the NL. I’m not sure wtf Hignett was thinking of tbh but it sounds like yet another ‘make do and mend’ decision. Why not bide his time and look for a loan deal for an experienced pro? Who actually gains from this - certainly not Pools as the kid will be repeatedly targeted as a weak link.


One game and the kids written off already???

He's done well to get 1 game to be fair. Most get written off after 10 minutes.
